OES 2 Options

CD/DVD Install:
You can install SLES 10 by using CDs or a DVD and then install OES 2 from a CD, all of which can be either obtained from a Novell Authorized Reseller or created from downloaded ISO image files.

4.11.3 Use Predefined Server Types (Patterns) When Possible

Both OES 2 and NetWare 6.5 SP8 include predefined server installation options that install only the components required to provide a specific set of network services. In the OES 2, these server types are called patterns.

For example, if you want to install an OES 2 server that provides enterprise level print services, you should select the Novell iPrint Server pattern during the installation.

You should always choose a predefined server type if one fits the intended purpose of your server. If not, you can choose to install a customized OES 2 server with only the service components you need.

More information about server patterns is available in the installation guides:
